      Ha! all you suckers who don't mail in your rebates are subsidising my purchases. :P My rebates are bigger because most of you don't mail yours in, which is why it makes good business sense for best buy to offer products below cost after rebate. I'm sad to see it go.

    Thats because aussies are generally all theifs anyway, and businesses have become accustomed to theft by employees.
